Description
Desert View is a small settlement on the South Rim, located 23 miles/ 37 km east of Grand Canyon Village on Arizona State Route 64 (Desert View Drive).
Join a ranger for a Sunset Talk to explore the complex layers of Grand Canyon’s history, ecology, geology, and more during this 30 to 45-minute program.
During the summer of 2025, Sunset Talks by park rangers will take place at the Desert View Amphitheater on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6:45 pm. Enjoy a program with a beautiful sunset backdrop. The talks start an hour before sunset, and end with enough time to take pictures and enjoy the view.
On Tuesday and Thursday, the Sunset Talks are "Grand Canyon Speaks" presentations, in which members of Grand Canyon's Native American Communities share their rich history, culture, and personal connections to Grand Canyon, through storytelling, singing, and hands-on-learning.
Dress warmly for this outdoor event. Seating is on stone benches.
All outdoor programs are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather or when lightning danger is present. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
